Can the world exist without money?

Calling all Hivers. Check this dude. His name is Seth Priebatsch. He’s an artist of sorts, just like all y’all Hivers and his creation is called, Scvngr. He may be taking over the world, and it seems as though this conquest began from an early onset. His idea – to turn the world into a fun game. On September 18th, the New York Times, published an article announcing Seth Priebatsch’s vision to establish another layer within the social media realm, that pushes its members to challenge themselves in new and different ways. It’s called Scvngr, and it’s a bit like foursquare. By utilizing the technology of geo-location, your location will be announced to others as a means to challenge and engage with others. The point is you want to be the coolest. The point is you want to be doing the coolest things. The point is, you want to win. This idea chronicles the direction society is headed within the technology world. The possibilities of where it could lead are astronomical – there’s the chance it could wipe out all the people not part of the social media world, and then there’s the chance it could simply wipe out the economical value system all together, and the world could be based off the value of the individual’s direct contribution in the world, society, and with him/her own self. Yes, I may be getting a bit carried away here, but can’t a girl dream? What do you think?
